Description
PANDA is a new universal detector for antiproton physics at the HESR facility at
FAIR/GSI. The PANDA data acquisition system has to handle interaction rates of
the order of 10**7 /s and data rates of several 100 Gb /s. FPGA based
compute nodes with multi-Gb/s bandwidth capability using the ATCA
architecture are designed to handle tasks such as event building, feature
extraction and high level trigger processing. Data connectivity is provided via
optical links as well as multiple Gbit Ethernet ports. The boards will support
trigger algorithms such us pattern recognition for RICH detectors, EM shower
analysis, fast tracking algorithms and global event characterization. A high level
hardware description language (Handel-C) will be used to implement the
firmware.
